I live in Kilmarnock (home of Johnny Walker)just now and for years i worked in the pubs where a lot of the employees drank ,some of whom i got friendly with ,sometimes i had as much as 20 to 30 bottles in the house ! Some were gifts for allowing them free entry and some i bought from there special offers ,for example 1lt Black label and 1 bottle og Gold £20 ,And my all time favourite was Blue label £30 ,i believe this is around £150 now ,Also had lots of dimple ,swing,monkey,s shoulder etc.

Red - not sure what the postal regulations are (or what it would cost to ship) - but there is some (legal) moonshine being made in Gatlinburg, Tennessee called Ole Smoky. http://olesmokymoonshine.com/ They have a bunch of flavours.

Another Whiskey I like is Conecuh Ridge Whiskey. Here is the site http://www.cmwhiskey.com Sadly it isn't available in where I live now, but I plan to get some more. It is nice and smooth. :D

Be fun to try buddy - but duty and tax would have to be paid on receipt - which would make for a very expensive bottle of whiskey :(

To be fair though nothing I have tried (including a few moonshines) comes close to Islay Whisky - smooth, smoky, salty, seaweedy goodness :)

Aberlour is one of the worst things I have ever had the misfortune to drink :(

Old Pultney however is really nice. You can quite literally taste the sea. A real salty taste to it.

Harsh I'd say, Aberlour is one of my favs... It will never beat a Balvenie Double Wood mind ;)

I've sent spirits (whiskey and rum) to an ex GF in the UK before. Postage wasn't cheap but she didn't have to pay duty or import. I suspect that's because it was marked as a gift though.

In theory its due on booze, but I suspect it depends on what you list the value and contents as :) Feel free to test it by sending me packets of exotic booze with a variety of labels!
